Well, we all know SOME of these prices are on the high side, but some of them are average!!
What are we up to 10 grand?? And missing another 5K of odds and ends?? Just modify something that is still made and will have your parts for the next 20 years.
Should we start investing and hoarding TRX450 parts because those parts may get rare?? Doesn't seem like Honda wants to even make that quad anymore!!
The prices for used parts has gone crazy; I can no longer find the parts I'd like to have spares of. Of course I have a ton of used and NOS stuff already but if I needed something, it doesn't look like EBAY could help much.....
BTW - I found this within 300 listed items on 1.5 pages
